New YORK, March r.
The manager of the Adams Express Co.
in New York investigated the Boston barrel
mystery yesterday, but found no clue to

He said that the barrel was received on Wed

and no one could remember receiving that
particular barrel. 1t was marked 81. w.
Nichols, Brunswick, Me" No charges
were paid 1t was ''collect" shipment all
the way through. The name of the shipper
was not given or demanded; consequently
there was no way to discover whence it came.
When the barrel reached Boston on the fol-
lowing day it was turned over to the Ameri-
can Express Co. TO be forwar to its des
tination. The express charges to Boston
were Sl05 As blood was discovered on the
head of the barrel the American company
refused to receive it, so it was returned TO
the Adams express Office, where it was opened
and found to contain a womaff's head packed
in straw, with other portions of human
BODY. 1t is said that there is small medi
cal school attached to Bowdoin College, and
it is thought that the remains were to be

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1887-08-12

Some of the principal reasons for this
state Of affairs are:
!. The low prices prevailing for the last
year or two have compelled that class OF
white planters who have taken the most
care Of their cotton In regard 10 cultivation
and seed 70 abandon il. They claim they
cannot make the better grade Of cotton TOR
less than &c. to 25c. and viii not try.
2. A large quantity Of the cotton IS pur-
chased by merchants doing a moderate
amount OF trade. and who have but little
room for handling the crop, and the conse-
quence is the cotton is thrown into pile
and hauled to the gin house TO be ginned
with the request that the SEED be saved, as
the merchant has promised to save seed Tor
bis customers for planting.
3. The careless manner in which the cot
ton is handled at the country gin house,
more particularly in those sections where
both long and short cottons are ginned un-
der one roof; with the utmost care II IS
almost impossible 10 keep the seed from mix
ing TO some extent.
WORD OF WARNING TO FARMERS AND
GIYNERs
Our experience leads US TO state that
more damage is done TO cotton by mex
perienced ginners than in any other way.
Unless there is great care taken the gins
will cut the fibre badly, crack the seed and

which will give the cotton an appearance
that will make difference of from lie. 70
&c. per pound 1t will be well, therefore,
for the farmer TO look about him before
contracting with any one to do his ginning
and send his cotton to him who does the
best work
All cotton should first be summed and then
put through cleaner or whipper to extract
all sand and trash before being ginned 1;
otherwise you will not get a cotton that
will grade first class in appearance and
become ''fancy" in preparation. When
this is done and our cotton goes to market
in first class condition we have some claim
upon high prices Egyptian advices are
the worms have made their appearance gen
orally throughout lower Egypt.
